Mild Jalapeno Peppers offer a subtle yet robust flavor and heat that complements a variety of dishes.
They are incredibly versatile, making them an excellent choice for experienced and novice cooks.
These jalapeno pepper plants' dark green fruits can be left on the pepper bush to mature into fiery red. This pepper is hot enough to feel the heat but not too hot to overpower food.
These peppers grow to a length of three inches. When growing jalapenos from seed, plant hot and sweet peppers in separate areas to avoid cross-pollination, and pick your peppers regularly for increased yields.
